Judge blocks Trump’s birthright citizenship order in third ruling since Supreme Court ruling


A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration from ending birthright citizenship for children born to parents in the U.S. illegally, marking the third nationwide court ruling against the order since a pivotal Supreme Court decision in June. U.S. District Judge Leo Sorokin upheld a nationwide injunction granted to more than a dozen states, citing an exception to the Supreme Court’s limitation on lower courts issuing broad nationwide injunctions.


The states argue that the birthright citizenship order is unconstitutional and threatens millions in funding for health and social services tied to citizenship status. Sorokin rejected the government’s request to narrow the injunction, saying a fragmented approach would fail to protect the states due to population movement across borders. He criticized the administration for failing to explain how a limited injunction would work without imposing burdens on states. While acknowledging the administration’s right to challenge the constitutional interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Sorokin declared the order unconstitutional for now. The case is expected to return to the Supreme Court for a final decision, with the Trump administration yet to appeal the recent rulings.
